You won't get that result from your Parrot I'm afraid Joe!

Hello The swaths are indeed baled. You can find a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04oRYmOIAh4. These chaps love a little challenge. Got a used Jag 970, bit modified, baler behind it no problem. The bales are later processed in the factory. Last winter they got a little bored and liked some extra harvesting capacity. They scored a used Agrifac Big Six beet harvester cheaply at an auction and converted it to a third hemp harvester which is ran alongside the two Xerion 4000s they have. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-OvFbtCKRs In spring the two Xerion 4000s are used with rear mounted seed tanks, 6m Lemken cultivator and Accord drills to drill all of the hemp.

What is your cut off date for drilling cover crops then Alex? I really wouldn't put anything in the ground after 15th of September here as it simply won't grow. Not enough growth hours, usually wet and cold. Except for grass that is, which is usually established after maize and can take a bit more. Oil radish we quit after September 1st, Mustard similar or slightly later.

Some nice conversions there Mark!

Wow lovely seeing two Fortschritt's together!

Nice storyline again Julian. So how does that work with you guys for silage? You accumulate customers' acreage and then attack it all at once? Here it's usually hit and run. Local contractor here down the road from me (the biggest in the area) has 4 foragers and 4-5 wagons I believe. The dairy farms are relatively large round here.

Ah yes very good Alex. Still in hospital then or recovering elsewhere? Wasn't meaning to criticise you. When do you reckon you'll start wheat and barley drilling?

Good thing Clive only took head on shots Alex. His is a 770.

Nice idea Mark. All you need now is a seed hopper on the front and two coulter bars to drill some wheat. Kverneland tried it but it never was much of a success. Same with Lely's Condor: http://www.agrifoto.nl/foto/Januari%2012/653Small.jpg

I know you mean it like that Paul but it seems not everyone on here can see that which is a shame. I was just as surprised as you was to see a Fendt baler and probably wondered (the same) if one would be available or not. Nothing more nothing less. Meanwhile Julian you still have a great layout and I always enjoy seeing the updates.

Jesus christ give Paul a break will ya!

Get well soon Alex! Lot of rain in your neck of the woods?

At least you'll have time to clean the road Alex! Lot of wheat in that corner.

Especially loving the 865! Pity about the picture quality though Time for a camera update.

Nice updates again Julian. Always enjoy seeing them.
